A place I worked at in the late 1970's bought a No. 5 Milwaukee vertical mill that came out of Western Germany. Besides the mill being all metric, it had a 50 HP motor that ran the spindle. This motor was a 380V 50 Cycle 3 Phase motor. Boss was too cheap the change out that motor for something more realistic that would run on 460V 60 cycle. They hooked it up on 480V 60 cycle. It ran, but ran hot. Motor didn't run continious, so I guess that helped. It was still running when I left there a couple years later.
